Safari Approach (Catch Game)
A behavior-and-timing minigame β not the Type Quiz chart:
- Read the PokΓ©monβs behavior; temperament (timid, bold, hungry, proud) is hidden until you experiment
- Use up to 10 tactics (3 per turn) to build trust and keep alert below 100 or it flees. Starts: β
30 trust / 30 alert, β
β
20/40, β
β
β
10/50; only high base-stat-total species get tougher
- The timing bar runs constantly: trust widens the green zone on a curve (stays small until you build trust; full bar at 100), alert controls marker speed, and yellow flanks shrink as green grows
- Streak points per catch: β
= 1, β
β
= 3, β
β
β
= 6. When your streak ends, you roll for bonus eggs (same unlock thresholds and odds scaling as Type Quiz)
- Green zone = guaranteed catch. Yellow flanks = 50% catch. Miss (outside zones or failed yellow roll) = no catch and the PokΓ©mon flees
- Press Throw PokΓ© Ball! to lock the marker where it is β you cannot tap the bar to stop it
- Types are shown for flavor only; success comes from reading reactions, not memorizing a ball chart
